Paul Walker’s Father Devastated Over His Death

Paul’s family is still in shock over the news, and his father emotionally spoke out about his son’s tragic and untimely death.

“I’m just glad that every time I saw him, I told him I loved him,” Paul Walker Sr. tearfully told CBS2 news. “And he would say the same thing to me.”

If that’s not heart-wrenching enough, Paul’s father said the Fast and the Furious star wanted to spend more time with his 15-year-old daughter Meadow.

“I want to take a hiatus,’” Paul Sr. recalled his son saying shortly before his tragic death. “‘She’s just 15 and I don’t have much more time to be with her.’ Then boom, he got another movie. He would say, ‘I don’t know what to do.’”
